JUNEAU, Alaska — Backers of a measure aimed at repealing Alaska’s ranked choice voting system scored an early, partial win in court when a judge ruled that state elections officials did not violate the law or regulations when they let the sponsors correct errors in petition booklets that had already been turned in.
The plaintiffs also are challenging the signature-collecting methods by the sponsors, claims that remain unresolved. Trial dates have been scheduled, beginning next month. “Although we are disappointed in this ruling, we will consider our options while the rest of this case proceeds,” he said. The Department of Law “is pleased the court affirmed the Division of Elections’ interpretation, which makes it easier for voters to propose initiatives,” department spokesperson Sam Curtis said by email. The department is representing the division.
